A White Oak population that has been under development for many years at the Ame's Plantation (University of Tennessee). The plantation is being maintained by the UT Tree Improvement Program, including mowing and is protected against deer by electric fence and rabbits by tree shelters or mesh. Dr. Gailing has analyzed 200 trees in the population and found 50 full-sibling trees. Assuming the same rate of detection, the plantation currently contains between 200-250 full siblings. Approximately 200 seedlings from the mother tree were grown at the East Tennessee State Nursery in 2013. They were lifted and containerized for future sampling.

Please contact us for more information or if you are interested in utilizing this population for research. Genotype and phenotype information will be posted here when publicly available.
